Our Third Space

09/06/2025

Our 3rd Space is a full-scale venue in downtown Vancouver, WA — created for events, creativity, and community.

We’ve built a space that’s flexible, affordable, and equipped for just about anything:

🌿 The Main Hall
1,400 sq ft for weddings, markets, private parties, and community gatherings. Every booking includes tables, chairs, and a small speaker for music. Setup + teardown services are available starting at $65!

🎶 Audio & Visual Options
For bigger events, we offer professional sound and visual upgrades like JBL PRO audio, DJ-ready setups, karaoke packages, lighting, and a 180” projector screen with surround sound for movie nights, concerts, and celebrations.

🛠️ The Workshop Studio
Our downstairs studio is stocked with Cricut machines, sublimation printers, sewing machines, tie-dye setups, and more. Perfect for small business projects, creative classes, and hands-on workshops. We also host our own sessions, open to the community.

🛍️ Markets
Monthly themed markets transform the space into a gathering place for local makers, artists, and neighbors. Each market includes interactive crafts and entertainment, making them experiences rather than just shopping events.

👕 Merchandise
We design and produce apparel with local brands, using custom techniques. These pieces are made to be unique, wearable, and representative of our community’s creativity.

✨ Why Book With Us
We keep events simple, affordable, and flexible — with professional equipment, creative tools, and multiple spaces designed to adapt to your needs. From weddings to workshops, every booking supports a venue that invests in local makers, artists, and community events.

🎤✨ Karaoke Night at Our 3rd Space! ✨🎤

Thank you to everyone who came out and made our trial karaoke night such a great time. The energy was incredible — people stepping up to the mic, everyone cheering each other on, and the whole room filled with laughter, music, and community vibes. Nights like these are exactly what we’re all about: creating a space where people can feel welcome, connected, and just have fun.

We loved hosting it and we’d love to do it again. The big question is… should Karaoke Night become a regular thing here at Our 3rd Space?

Your feedback matters! If you had a blast (or missed it but want another chance), let us know. We’re already imagining themed karaoke nights, group sing-alongs, and maybe even some fun trivia competitions. With your input, we can make this a staple in our lineup of community events.

Let’s hear it — are you ready to sing your heart out with us again? 💜🎶

📢 Important Update from Our 3rd Space

We’ve decided to postpone this weekend’s market and take a step back to rethink how we can best support our small business community.

With so many markets and events happening in our area, we’ve noticed it’s become harder not only to fill vendor spots but also to bring in foot traffic, people’s time and money are spread thin, and it shows. This impacts all of us trying to showcase our work and keep our doors open.

So, moving forward we’ll be pausing frequent markets and returning to what worked best in the past: one thoughtfully curated themed market each month. This way, we can give vendors and guests something truly special to look forward to — and make sure your time and effort are well spent.

In between, we’ll focus on hosting more small workshops, pop-ups, and creative gatherings, giving our community new ways to connect and grow together.

Thank you for understanding, and for continuing to show up for us and all the amazing makers, artists, and entrepreneurs we partner with. 💛 Stay tuned for updates on our next market and new events — we can’t wait to share more soon.

But to keep this dream alive, we need your help to ensure our space remains accessible, affordable, and welcoming for everyone.

Here’s how you can make a difference:
